Day 249: Ezekiel 32-34

I like the title of this section beginning in chapter 33!  Messages of Hope (chapters 33-48).  I feel like we are ready for some of that after the last 32 chapters.  Although, I guess in a way even the first part of Ezekiel gives me hope because it reminds me that God will judge and punish evil.

33: 31-32 are convicting.  It really speaks to hypocrisy.  And also to why I think, unfortunately, many people come to church.  My notes ask this question: Have you reduced church services to the level of entertainment, or does your worship truly have an impact on your life?

Chapter 34 speaks of leaders who take care of themselves far better than they care for their flock.  Of course we know that God will soon send them a perfect shepherd for His flock!
